It
is time of one of our autumn-winter
specials. On this occasion we have planned to do a series of tours to
different cities in Spain, in order to finish a mini book with tourist routes
around this country: from the most urban to the most natural destinations, from
the most wonderful Majorca beaches to the frantic Gran Vía in Madrid.
Madrid
is precisely our first destination. Yes, the Spain capital opens this series,
it couldn't be any other way . We go to Madrid
with an art plan for everybody. We
have immersed in Madrid art triangle and have rescued this from its sea bottom.
Read, take note and book your getaway to Madrid before new year. It’s worth it.
It’s really worth it.
The
first stop, outside our hotel
next to El Retiro: Thyssen
Bornemisza Museum. Located very
close to Banco de España metro station, to Cibeles and to Madrid City Hall,
this art centre is full of novelties for autumn. Carmen en las colecciones españolas is about
to close . This exhibition was installed in the first floor balcony, conceived of
as a complement to the Carmen Opera by
Bizet of La Zarzuela Theatre.
Altogether, twenty selected works about the iconography of Carmen myth
signed by Picasso, Gonzalo Bilbao, Ramón Casas. This exhibition, opened until
November 9th, includes a cinema series every Saturday.
Recently
opened, we can also appreciate Hubert de Givenchy and an American Impressionism exhibition. The
first one, with the designer as organizer, is a guide throughout the career of
this important character in French fashion. The second one breaks the mould,
bringing for the first time to Spain a complete exhibition with 60 works of
North American artists, which have get an important position as far as
impressionism is concerned. All of them made between 1880 and 1890.
In
next exhibitions of Thyssen Museum,
we could enjoy in 2014/2015, Zurbarán
and Munch in their rooms. The first exhibition will be dedicated to the
painter Raoul Dufy, on February 2015, with its passion for daily hedonism. An
exhibition full of colour and authenticity, representing a milestone in
visualisation of this artist in Spain, almost 65 years after his death.
It
will be followed, closer to Summer, at the beginning of June 2015, by Zurbarán exhibition: a new perspective,
where we will find some of the unpublished
canvas of this painter discovered in last years.
Munch
exhibition will be on display in almost one year, until next October. It will
be organised by Oslo Museum which is dedicated to this artist. It is the first
time that we will enjoy more than 70
works of Munch in Madrid, offering a complete tour through the career of
the author of the famous painting Skrik.
